Q&A With Greg Brewer
with Vaughn Whynot
Greg Brewer….where the hell have you been. Last time I saw you, you where throwing down kick melons on the 2way in Lunenburg at my comp... Well let’s do this Q&A so I can find out what you have been up too.
VW - State your name, Age, hometown, sponsors, if you’re pro or am?
GB - I'm Greg Brewer I'm 21 years old and my sponsors are Real Skateboards, Spitfire Wheels, Thunder Trucks, and Vans Shoes.
VW - So Mr. Brewer, how are your new sponsors treating you…and do you miss the east coast…are we east coast…I didn’t do well in geo?
GB - ha-ha oh yes its East alright. The sponsors are pretty kick-ass right now. They've all been super nice. I just got back from a trip to the states with Vans for an article in Concrete so I'm pretty hyped on that.
VW - Skateboard Set-up right now?
GB - Deck- Real 8 and 1/4. 52 mm Spitfire Wheels. Reds Bearings, 147 Thunders Trucks.
VW - Your Part In “Homegrown Slightly lit Video”, which was your fav places to skate in your part and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more pumped off of?
GB - That’s a tough one. Montreal and Toronto are both awesome cities but I think Toronto was pretty fun. I was super pumped off all the guys we were there with. I'd never really met any of the boys until then so it was really fun to get to meet them for a trip like that. Everyone was awesome on that trip for sure.
VW - Skate Video You Can’t wait to see?
GB - The Fallen Video, Lakai if it ever comes out. A new flip video would be rad too but I don't know if they're even doing one right now.
VW - What 1 trick your love doing these days and well hate even trying?
GB - Hardflips.
VW - Non-Skateboard Sponsor You Wish You Had?
GB - Alexander Keith’s or Wendy's.
VW - One thing to tell kids about skateboarding…and reason why you’re still doing it?
GB - Just have fun doing it mainly. It's the best way to mellow out and meet new people. If you’re having a good time that’s all that matters and people will see that.
VW - This is one question I had to ask because it’s always on my mind…what are your views on this helmet law in Canada?
GB - shi*tTY!!! If I hit my head it's my own fault. Someone could slip on ice or trip off a curb and hit there head but you don't need helmets to walk on an icy sidewalk. I hope.
VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?
GB - Switch three flips.
VW - Craziest road trip/demo/skate sesh?
GB - The Homegrown one was fun and the Vans one I just got back from. But when a bunch of us from Fredericton and Moncton went to Calgary and ended up getting to skate in Slam City Jam. That was pretty much the funniest thing ever!
VW - Am and Pro you’re pumped of?
GB - Appleyard, Reynolds, Rowley.
VW - Last scrape you were in?
GB - I try to stay out of trouble, but I almost went in the police patty wagon the other day for trying to throw a giant road barrier over a fence ha-ha. As soon as I herd the brakes of the truck the officer had my face up against the side of the truck and my arm wrenched around my back ha-ha. Luckily some randoms saved me and told the cop that a car had just ran into the barrier and they saw me fixing it. He told them that they could fit in the truck too and better leave now. So they walked away. I ended up talking my way out of it because I had New Brunswick ID and I was “Just visiting for 3 days." Then he was cool with it. He actually said this stupid line that sounded like some sort of slogan ha-ha. “You enjoy Vancouver. You do not destroy it!"
VW - Song you’re real into these days.
GB - I dunno I like to keep a good mix of everything.
VW - So G-brew when you coming down to Lunenburg way. We need some beer and you need to destroy the Lbc Park, while I am drunk and watch…hope to hear form you soon...and maybe see you skate.
GB - Hopefully I'll be in New Brunswick around Christmas time. Maybe next summer I'll make a trip again and get to check the new Halifax Park out and come down to Lunenburg and see all the boys.
Lata. Peace!
